Several of you asked about the resource that was used in the reading segment. The chapter came from the book Content Area Writing: Every Teacher's Guide by Harvey Daniels, Steven Zemelman, and Nancy Steineke (2007, Heinemann Publishing). It can be checked out from Heartland's professional library--call #808.042 Dan. I will be referencing additional material from the book, as well as other resources, as we continue to meet for professional development this year. Below are links to the informal data we collected regarding the types of writing the staff is asking students to engage in and your responses to the reflection piece, "What worked for me today and what didn't."
Thanks for your engagement with this wiki!
